If you happened to Pluit Putra Raya, you might notice a big sign written "Taiyo Sushi" on the left side. Once closed for a period, now it's re-open with new look. Even the changes weren't not far from the former, to be honest I prefer the old one. Well, who cares about it anyway. Let's go to the dishes. It's more important.

I got the invitation from Openrice. So there were some of their staffs greeted me when I came in. First dish was Chawan Mushi (12K), which was a very appropriate appetizer, just exactly what I expected. The chawan mushi has nice texture and perfect seasoning. Loved it!

Chawan Mushi

Taiyo Sushi Roll (52K). Half baked salmon with cucumber and crunchy inside. I forgot how they called the crunchy for sushi. Whatever it was, it definitely win my heart. Mayo and cheese on top went really well. Pssstt.. this one was my favorite.

Tempura Maki Floss (22K) was a simpler roll. From the name, you might know what's in it. Yup, prawn tempura and floss. The prawn was perfectly cooked. I loved it too. Light and tasty. Let's call it as easy bites.

0

Aburi Mozarella Roll (56K). As I googled it, aburi sushi means sushi whose fish on top that is torched by flame in a glimpse, so the fish is partly grilled and partly raw. I don't eat raw food, but aburi sushi was an exception. I loved the grilled-smell sensation. Aburi Mozarella Roll had kani inside, and chicken floss and tobiko as topping. The mayo was only for decoration; had no impact.

0

Unagi Salmon Special (54K). Tasted similar with Aburi Mozarella Roll and Taiyo Sushi Roll. Perhaps because they had similar ingredients. But the ingredients were too strong that the unagi was almost undetectable.

0

Kare Pasta was their new menu. This dish contained fettucini and kare. The fettucini was overcooked for me. White sauce was a bit tasteless, but it's okay since kare was the hero of the dish. The Kare had pretty strong spices but still not sharp enough.

Overall I loved the dishes. They had lovely unique taste that you'll only find in here. They kept the uniqueness so hard that almost all the sushi taste the same. That's so bad. I'll come back someday, anyway.

Many people believe that sushi never dies.Many people crave for sushi for plenty times. Nowadays, even sushi's not that hip as ramen, it still sticks in the lovers' heart.

A couple weeks ago, several food bloggers and me just attended a gathering at Taiyo Sushi held by Openrice. It was actually my first time here and it's kinda hard to reach from my home. As I got into the places I was welcomed by the so-kind waitress who wore a kimono. The ambience here was dominated by wood element and quite vast.

Before enjoying their delightful dishes, we could see the making of those sushi and the manager just told us a little brief about the food and their speciality.

And here they are some of their signature dishes.

Aburi Mozarella Roll (56k)Salmon sushi filled with crab stick, cucumber, bread crumb, and topped with mayo, mozzarella cheese, floss, and salmon roe.It undoubtedly looked so tempting and came in a quite big portion. For me, this one tasted nice, but I just wondered where the cheese was. It's kinda cheese-less, I guess. Overall, everything here was such a good match.

0

Taiyo Special Roll (52k)As there's Taiyo in the name, I expected something very special. Ya, it's true that this special roll was heavenly delicious. The salmon and burnt spicy-mayo just melt perfectly in my mouth. It's a must-try for fusion sushi addict.

0

Unagi Salmon Special (54k)Salmon sushi filled with bread crumb, cucumber, unagi, and topped with salmon roe and mayo.I gotta say this one was not as fusion as the others. The salmon here still dominate the unagi. Salmon feat Unagi? I think there's no regret to try this.

0

Tempura Maki Floss (22k)Frankly, this one was as simple as ABC. At my first bite, I could feel the crunch and savory in my mouth. It might be just like another maki floss, but I was into it.

0

Spicy Salmon Roll (26k)Fried salmon sushi topped with spicy mayo.I simply fell for this one. For me, the fried stuffs and spicy mayo were both the hero of the meal.

Overall, I really fell for Taiyo sushi and I enjoyed those time with the other writers. As a fusion sushi lovers, I gotta raise my thumbs for the food. For the price, I think it's still properly affordable. Thanks to Openrice and Taiyo Sushi! I will have a visit there later!

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to attend an OpenRice gathering at Taiyo Sushi, a recently renovated sushi joint located in Pluit, North Jakarta area. There were several other food bloggers appearing and we had a chance to savor some of Taiyo Sushi’s signature sushi and other Japanese dishes. The restaurant spots a wood-dominated interior, typical of a Japanese-inspired place. Most of the sushi rolls served for us were fusion sushi, although I was quite curious to try their traditional menu as well.

We began the lunch gathering with a bowl of chawan mushi. I always love a good chawan mushi and this one passed my bar. Then, after watching the sushi making and blow-torching show by Taiyo Sushi chefs, we tasted five sushi creation – tempura maki floss, Taiyo special roll, unagi salmon special, aburi mozzarella roll and spicy salmon fry. All were enjoyable with highlights on the unagi salmon special and aburi mozzarella roll. I actually had higher expectations for the first one because I’m an avid unagi lover, however I could barely taste the unagi there, probably because of all the drizzled mayonnaise. As for the latter, I would just say that I have a love hate situation with fusion sushi that uses cheese because sometimes the cheese flavor just overpowers everything else.

We also got to try one pasta dish, the kare pasta which tasted quite nice with hints of curry sweetness and spiciness. All in all, Taiyo Sushi would be perfect if you like aburi stuffs, mayo, floss and other fusion ingredients on your sushi rolls. I personally am more excited to see raw fish as my sushi topping. Thank you OpenRice and Taiyo Sushi for the lovely gathering.

ごちそうさま。 Gochisōsama!

BAM! I finally have time to post another review! I have been so busy with my life that I just didn't have the time to sit, relax and write.. Now, let's get started

It was lunch time, I was hungry.. I have been waiting for the sushi fiesta with OpenRice at Taiyo Sushi..Went out driving alone, it was scorching hot and I felt like a total sweat ball. Not attractive, I know.. A less than 7 minutes drive from my house to the nearest and most favorite sushi restaurant according to me :

TAIYO SUSHI.. Yes, not Taio Cruz, but Taiyo Sushi.. I have actually done a review before about this place. Right after they had finished their renovation, I asked my friends to come and join me for dinner. Twice that week we had our meal in here. We simply found it to be THAT GOOD.. They have a simple concept, really. Fusion Sushi with their signature cheese mayo sauce and that grilled scent of torched topping are the two things that I found most lovable at Taiyo.

I was having a sore throat, so I ordered hot ocha even though they have served us with fresh watermelon juice..

Clearer view of the Chawan Mushi (12rb). Topped with Japanese fish cake and mushrooms, a bit of spring onions. On the bottom, it was filled with chunks of tender chicken meat.. Warm comfort food indeed..

The making process in the open kitchen.. This is located in the middle of the sushi bar

Taiyo Special Roll (52K). I personally like this fusion sushi very much. You see how they torched the top and the sides of the sushi. When you put it in your mouth, you'll get the right hint of grilled smell. The cheese mayo is splendid. It literally felt like it just melted down. Plus the half cooked fresh salmon, oh, what more can I say?

0

Aburi Mozzarella Roll (56K). Another salmon sushi topped with floss. Again this is pure love.. The mayo, floss and cheese are definitely a perfect combination. If you like salty food, dip it into the soy sauce before putting it inside your mouth.. and taste that sweet joy of having something good dancing on your tongue..

0

Unagi Salmon Special (54K). I love they put the crunchy bits inside the sushi. The salmon, again, literally melted away in your mouth. I personally love this one, but I just wish they've put a stronger kick for the unagi. But other than that, I like it

Say hello to Kare Pasta (45K). Beef fettuccine with Japanese curry sauce. If you are a pasta lover, this might be the right dish for you. Talking about fusion, I think this dish is the most 'fusion-ized' dish you can get, Italian meet the Japanese.. It's a bit spicy for me, but again, I can't handle my spicy food..

I had such a great time with OpenRice and other food bloggers that came to Taiyo Sushi that day. I laughed a lot and I had forgotten the fact that I was actually a bit sick and sweaty. They said the best medicine is laughter, well, in this case, that line was very reliable. But I have to add good food in additional as they have indeed brightened up my day

Click here to check out my first review of Taiyo Sushi : http://elvina-febriani.blogspot.com/2012/08/taiyo-sushi-not-cruz.html

I personally stick up to my first review, I just LOVE this place. The fact that it's near my house, it's delicious and it's new keep me going back to this place again and again. My friends all agreed that this is the place to be when craving for fusion sushi. We were all completely full and belly-satisfied.. If you were in the area nearby, just go give it a try. Order a dish or two and just have a good time enjoying simple yummy fusion..
